Joseph, 40, and Stewart Alsop, 37, put out their own special mixture, a blending of political and economic punditry, forecasts and crusades, e.g., their defense of Dean Acheson and attacks on Louis Johnson while Defense Secretary. Yaleman Stewart is scholarly, quiet; Harvardman Joe, aggressive, facile, gregarious, steers the team. The brothers soak up information incessantly at interviews (upwards of 40 a week), at Joe's lavish parties in his cinder-block-and-glass house in Georgetown, or by legwork around the globe. (Each spends at least part of the year abroad...

Harrison Muller is a show-stopper as the superior Yaleman who breezes in for a visit in his Winton 6. But various long-suffering grown-ups just go through stock-company motions, and that great pioneer in brathood, Willie's kid sister Jane, today seems just another brat.

A lawyer turned investment banker, he is little known outside Wall Street. But there Fisherman Randolph has a prize catch on the end of his line. As boss of Manhattan's Tri-Continental Group, composed of six investment trusts with assets of nearly $200 million, Randolph votes huge blocks of stock in scores of top U.S. companies. His two biggest trusts are Tri-Continental Corp. ($86 million in assets) and Selected...
...council's first president: handsome, 60-year-old Bishop Henry Knox Sherrill, Presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, to which post he was elected in 1947-one of the youngest men ever so honored. A longtime leader of the ecumenical movement in the U.S., Brooklyn-born Yaleman Sherrill seemed a natural choice to head the new superagency. Vice presidents at large: Mildred McAfee Horton, World War II commander of the WAVES, onetime (1936-49) president of Wellesley College; Abbie Clement Jackson, executive secretary of the African Episcopal Zion Church Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society...
